The Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship at Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital is a three-year training program that prepares physicians to become clinician-educators or physician-scientists in a multi-disciplinary team environment dedicated to improving the long-term survival and quality of life for our patients. Our patient population is very diverse and allows for training in an environment that exposes the fellows to the most complex medical and social situations. Fellows will have comprehensive clinical training in all aspects of pediatric hematology, oncology, and stem cell transplantation in infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. The Mount Sinai Hospital provides the appropriate environment and support for both clinical and laboratory research to prepare trainees for an academic career in this subspecialty. Fellows will have abundant opportunities for educating patients, families, and other trainees.
